This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 207:2009. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 89/686/EEC. For relationship with EU Directive 89/686/EEC, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 207:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard applies to eye-protectors used for protection against accidental exposure to laser radiation as defined in EN 60825-1:2007 in the spectral range 180 nm (0,18 µm) to 1 000 µm. It defines the requirements, test methods and marking. A guide is given in the informative Annex B for the selection and use of laser eye-protectors and filters in appliances. This European Standard does not apply to protectors for intentional exposure to laser radiation. EN 208 applies for laser adjustment eye-protectors. Before selecting eye protection according to this European Standard, a risk assessment should first be undertaken (see Annex B). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

EN 207:2017 (E) 11 4.2 Spectral transmittance of filters and frames The spectral transmittance shall be determined for normal incidence. Filters with angular-dependent transmittance (such as interference layers) for the wavelength range from 400 nm to 1 400 nm shall be measured at angles of incidence between 0° and 30° with polarized radiation and an orientation of the polarization direction giving the highest value of the spectral transmittance. Filters with angular-dependent transmittance for other wavelengths shall be measured at angles of incidence between 0° and 90° with polarized radiation. In this case, the scale number results from the highest of the spectral transmittance values measured. Testing shall be done in accordance with EN 167:2001, Clause 6. 4.3 Luminous transmittance of filters The luminous transmittance shall be determined for normal incidence, relative to the D65 standard illuminant (see ISO 11664-1:2007 and ISO 11664-2:2007). The test shall be performed according to EN 167:2001, Clause 6. 4.4 Resistance of filters and frames to laser radiation The test shall be carried out with laser radiation of the specified wavelengths and the power and energy densities given in Table 1. The spectral transmittance shall be measured for each laser wavelength during the exposure to laser radiation. The values of energy density (H) in Table 1 for testing the resistance against laser radiation for pulsed lasers (I, R, M) shall be multiplied with the factor N-1/4, where N is the number of pulses in 5 s. The frame shall be exposed to radiation at the point of least thickness for each of the materials used (with the exception of headbands). The diameter d63 of the laser beam during this test shall be (1 ± 0,1) mm. The diameter d63 is the area of the smallest circle containing 63 % of the laser power/energy. For pulse durations < 1 ns, the diameter d63 of the laser beam during this test shall be
· 0,5 mm. In the case of rectangular beams, the dimensions specified apply to the shortest side of the rectangle. The duration of the test shall be taken from Table 4.
